So red pill types are very obsessed with SMV (sexual market value) and female hypergamy — the idea that women want to date up — and it often leads to shit like this, which I find *hilarious*.

Now, with the enormous caveat that my personal experiences may not reflect those of the typical woman (whoever that is), I want to share something about my own dating history.

When I was in my early twenties, my dating habits re: men* probably looked a bit like what this dude sees as "normal."

* My dating habits re: women have always been different than my dating habits re: men, so we're gonna shelve them for now

I was primarily interested in older men, who were relatively accomplished, and who able to act as mentors/authority figures to me. But that was in my early twenties.

When I hit twenty-five, the bloom on that rose started to fade, and I found myself more interested in relationships that felt a little bit more egalitarian — though I was still dating older men.

And then, when I was 29, something *really* interesting happened.

At 29, I was newly single, and I was dating *a lot*. And I noticed something really interesting when it came to my attraction to men*: I was not interested in older men *at all*.

* Again: the patterns I'm about to explain were only for men I dated, not women.

Dating an older man felt brining someone who would act as an authority figure into my life. And at 29, I had *zero* interest in an authority figure stepping in to tell me what to do. I was a grown ass woman who'd been through the ringer and I didn't need that in my life.

Dating men around my own age was another possibility, but one that felt iffy, because — if I can toot my own horn for a second — I was a pretty accomplished lady, and it was harder to find dudes who were on my level.

So I started doing something that I had never really done before: I started dating younger men.

Because they were younger than me, I didn't need them to be "on my level," I just needed them to be interesting, ambitious, and thoughtful; full of "potential," if you will.

And counter to everything I'd been led to believe, especially by men like that red pill shitheel above, this ended up being a really successful dating strategy — especially since, in my experience, men who were interested in dating older women tended to be more feminist 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I bring this up for a couple reasons:

1) I think a lot of women automatically rule out dating younger men when they should not2) I think our dating preferences shift as we age and mature, for a number of reasons3) I think that dude is completely full of shit

But, you know, I'm just a lady on the edge of thirty-six who's about disappear into the ether, so what do I know.

It is possible for anyone, of any gender, to benefit from male privilege at some point in time provided that some aspect of their being gets attributed added value because someone perceived it as being masculine or male.

For example: if a cisgender woman named Robin Smith applies for a job and gets hired based on her resume in part because the person reading her resume she was a man, and their biases ticked up Robin's level of qualification as a result, *she is benefiting from male privilege.*

Likewise a butch cis woman who gets read as male while walking home at night might benefit from the male privilege of not getting harassed while walking down the street.

Will Dems making gains in many state governments, now is a good time to remind you that *state governments can do a lot*. States can take action on climate change, abortion access, healthcare, and many more important issues, and the actions state governments take matters *a lot*.

The reason abortion is near inaccessible in much of the country, even with Roe v Wade still legal, is *GOP state governments*. Push your state to strengthen abortion access in case Roe v Wade gets overturned.

Obamacare was inspired by, ahem, Romneycare, Massachusetts’s statewide healthcare plan. Show America what single-payer can look like by pushing your state to adopt it.

I sorta hate that we use the word “normal” to reassure people about their desires and kinks and sexual behavior because it implies that a behavior’s pathology is determined by its frequency within society

Like, you might be the only person with your one particular kink, making it decidedly *not* normal, but that doesn’t mean you should be ashamed or feel insecure or bad about it.

Your sexuality doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, it just has to prioritize consent from all parties involved.

Before we start, a brief reminder that the medical interventions carried out on children and young people are novel and largely EXPERIMENTAL. There are many unknown risks and this is acknowledged, even as the experiments proceed.
For example, the NHS:

So in many cases, the iatrogenic effects of transing young people will only become known as sufficient numbers of trans people start suffering them and talking about their pain.
This is a case in point.

Sexual assault is a crime and so is making a false allegation. Somehow, we always tend to presume innocence for men accused of sexual assault, but we never presume the innocence of women accused of making up a rape story. The due process argument is a sham.

What would due process really look like for all involved? A trauma-informed, sensitive investigation. We didn't get that with #Kavanaugh. We don't get it in most criminal cases of sexual assault.

But presuming that men accused of sexual assault are innocent? It isn't due process and it can't be. It threatens the due process rights of the women making sexual assault allegations.

Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though

"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈
